27.1: Fear of Losing
CHAPTER 27.1
Fear of LosingLUCAS HAD heard about a crazy knight in Westmount Kingdom once. It was a huge issue, a great controversy as to why would a respected family who leads an entire country keep an insane person as their ally? Lucas had once heard of the rucuss that this knight made, of how lives weren’t spared and how blood splattered across the country, painting its great walls a dark crimson.It was probably after the Fernandez family retreated as the Heredia’s knights to repudiate their ancient relation with the royal family. It goes a long way back and Lucas can’t seem to recall the small details, but Fausto’s existence caused a huge chaos.“Prinsipe Lucas, gusto kong malaman mo na bago natin kaharapin ang isang ito e magiging mahirap itong kalaban. He’s got unexpected tricks and dirty antics hidden beneath his sleeves and if we’re not careful, he might be able to snatKaugnay na kabanata
Blood and Roses 27.2: Strategy
CHAPTER 27.2Strategy “AS FAR as I’ve observed, Fausto’s rash and he’s childish, contrary to his name,” Selene pointed out. Lihim na ngumiti si Lucas habang kagat-kagat pa rin ang palapulsuhan ng dalaga. He’s slowly drinking from her but at the same time, he’s making sure that he won’t take too much or hurt her in any way. Mabuti na lang at distracted din si Selene kaya hindi nito napapansin ang ginagawa niya. Oo, alam niyang sinabihan siyang uminom nang mabilis dahil kailangan nilang balikan kaagad si Sir Fernandez pero naniniwala rin si Lucas na kaya na ng isang iyon ang sarili. He’s branded as the Westmount Kingdom’s strongest knight after his father and at the same time, he’s now the most reputable knight in Ellesmere Kingdom, the person who swore loyalty under the name of Eustace Beaufort. Imposibleng hindi nito kayang ipagtanggol ang sarili.
Blood and Roses 27.3: Lurking Danger
CHAPTER 27.3Lurking Danger“SIGURADO KA na bang ito ang gagawin natin?” paniniguro ni Lucas habang marahang wini-withdraw ni Selene ang tangkay ng mga rosas na nagsisilbing panangga nila mula kay Fausto.Nang humimig ang dalaga, hindi niya naiwasang humigop nang malalim na hininga. Sige, mukhang wala na siyang ibang pagpipilian kung hindi ang mag-take risk. As long as ligtas si Selene, ayos lang kay Lucas kahit na anong outcome ang mangyayari sa plano nito.“Tanda mo pa ba lahat ng sinabi kong outcome, Lucas?” tanong ni Selene.Napahalakhak siya. “There’s so many, you should’ve written me a book about it.”“Mukha ba ‘kong may oras para magsulat ng libro? Nasa gitna tayo ng giyera!”“Yeah but... How do you even expect me to memorize all outcomes, Selene? I&rsquo
Blood and Roses 27.4: A Gruesome Discovery
CHAPTER 27.4A Gruesome Discovery THIS IS TROUBLESOME. Napahinga nang marahas si Merlin nang ibalita sa kanya na hindi nila makakausap sina Prinsesa Selene at Prinsipe Lucas dahil mayroong dire na nangyari. Nag-aalala siya para sa kalagayan ni Prinsesa Selene lalo na’t bilang guardian niya, wala siya sa tabi nito ngayong mga oras na ito. Kaya niyang magpadala ng suporta tulad ng ginawa niya kina Prinsipe Lucas noon pero nasa harap na niya sina Haring Alexander, Chief Knight Lyte, at Chief Knight Fernandez. Kaya nag-mental note na lang siya na mamaya gumawa ng kilos para matulungan ang Prinsesa. “Anong nangyayari sa kampo nina Lucas?” nag-aalalang tanong ni Haring Alexander. Katatapos lamang nitong muling suyurin lahat ng mga kabalyerong nagboluntaryo na sumanib sa digmaan at bagamat mukha itong pagod, nagbigay oras pa rin ito para sa mabilis na pagpupulong. “Bakit hindi sinasagot nina Lucas at Selene ang comm
Blood and Roses 27.5: Suspended Retribution
CHAPTER 27.5Suspended Retribution FAUSTO’S ATTACKS were unpredictable and the amount of force he uses in every swing of his sword and every swerve of his body always made Lucas feel nervous as one shot could break a bone or two. Ito na nga ba ang sinasabi ni Lucas na delikado! Kaya nagdadalawang isip siyang makiayon kanina sa sinasabi ni Selene e dahil nag-aalala siya na baka maging ganito kalala ang course ng pagkilos ng kalaban. Mabilis niyang pinasadahan ng tingin si Sir Fernandez at napaismid nang makitang walang kahirap-hirap itong nakikipagsabayan sa lakas ni Fausto. Hindi ito gaanong nag-e-exert ng effort sa pag-iwas ngunit matigas at mariin ang pagdipensa nito sa sarili nang hindi masaktan. He’s all alert and focused. Ngayon nagsi-sink in kay Lucas kung bakit tila ba inggit na inggit si Fausto sa lakas ni Sir Fernandez. It may be even not his strength that he’s envious of, but of how Sir Fernan
Blood and Roses 28.1: Moving Forward
CHAPTER 28.1Moving Forward WHEN MERLIN heard what happened to Selene, he was neither angry nor agitated at Lucas. He didn’t even reprimand him for taking blood on the Princess, rather; he was relieved to know that nothing more serious happened to her – which is, in the first place, Lucas would never allow to happen. After all, he dedicated all of his training to Selene and he made sure that he’s stronger to protect her. Although of course, his weaknesses would show every now and then but... He’s getting there. He can still protect Selene. “Nalaman ko mula kina Jonas na tumatawag ka kanina at may pagpupulong. Pasensya na. Inatake kami ng mga kawal mula sa kaharian ng Westmount,” paliwanag niya. Gusto niyang banggitin ang tungkol kay Fausto at kung ilang beses na itong muntik makalusot sa kanila ni Sir Fernandez kanina’t mapaslang si Selene pero hindi na siya nagsabi. “We we
Blood and Roses 28.2: Temporary Peace
CHAPTER 28.2Temporary Peace IT WASN’T long when Selene woke up from her sleep and found Lucas sleeping at the edge of her bed with his face buried in between his arms. Iniisip niya kung ilang oras ba siyang natutulog ngunit wala rin naman siyang mapagtatanungan. That being said, Selene pushed herself up from the mattress and sat. She used the headrest of her bed so that she could lean on it then she tried to take a peek of what’s outside even though it’s impossible to see through the thick material of her tent. Bringing her gaze back to Lucas’ sleeping figure, Selene couldn’t help it but to smile for how peaceful he looked like while he dozed off. Mahina siyang humagikhik, siniguro niyang hindi magigising si Lucas, ‘tsaka niya inabot ang ulo nito para paglaruan ang buhok ng binata. She can’t help it. Even though there is only little time for them to bathe and all, his hair still looked soft
Blood and Roses 28.3: Perilous Condition
CHAPTER 28.3Perilous Condition MERLIN HAD NEVER expected for this black aura to be manifesting in the deeper part of the forest strongly. He didn’t expect it to be protective of its vessel to the point that it’d surround the woodlands with thick black fog. The mere fact that it grows stronger in every step they take and as near they are to the dark mage, Merlin could assume that this black fog has a mind of its own. It’s acting like a protective dog who’d bite their heads off if they proceed into the depths of the forest they are in. Halos wala nang makita sina Merlin at sa t’wing susubukan nilang huminga, parang mas lalo lamang silang kinakapos sa hangin. Lihim siyang napamura’t umismid. Hindi sila makakapagpatuloy kung ganito kakapal ang usok na hatid ng itim na mahika. Hindi lang siya ang apektado rito kung hindi maging ang mga kasama niyang pinaghihilakbutan sa t’wing ii-imply ni Merlin
Blood and Roses 28.4: Something Odd
CHAPTER 28.4Something Odd NO MATTER HOW strong an aura is and no matter how slim the chance of getting past through it may be, ten percent will always be better than zero itself. Nakaismid na tinitignan ni Merlin ang maliit na butas sa gilid ng awrang nakapalibot sa buong gubat kung nasaan naroroon ang kampo ng kalaban. Staring at this hole, Merlin assumed that this is what the clones used to exit the camp so that the aura wouldn’t eat them again. Ang problema lamang ni Merlin dito e masyadong maliit ang butas na nakikita niya at kailangan nilang gumapang, pero sigurado siyang kaya nitong i-accommodate ang hanggang sa size ng katawan ni Kapitan Favian. But still, it’s better to do something than nothing. “Hindi ba tayo mahahawakan ng itim na awrang ‘yan kung diyan tayo dadaan?” nag-aalalang pag-uusisa ni Kapitan Favian na siyang ikinaismid at dahilan ng pagngisi niya.
